The water supply pump 6 and the second solenoid valve 7 are arranged between the water tank 5 and the second interface 82. The water tank 5 is used to store pure water filtered by the reverse osmosis device 4. The water in the water tank 5 passes through the water supply pump 6 and the second solenoid valve 7 to the second interface 82 in sequence. A liquid level meter 51 and an ultraviolet sterilization lamp 52 are arranged in the water tank 5.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the ultrafiltration device 3 is also connected to the first flushing valve 31, and the first flushing valve 31 is connected to the wastewater port 10. The wastewater port 10 is used to discharge the wastewater after flushing the filter element. A second flushing valve 41 is provided between the reverse osmosis device 4 and the wastewater port 10. A third flushing valve 21 is provided between the prefilter 2 and the wastewater port 10. The first flushing valve 31, the second flushing valve 41 and the third flushing valve 21 are arranged in parallel with each other. A wastewater ratio element 44 is also provided between the reverse osmosis device 4 and the wastewater port 10, which is used to adjust the wastewater ratio of the reverse osmosis device 4.

The first water quality meter 15 is used to detect the quality of the raw water, and the second water quality meter 92 is used to detect the quality of the filtered water. In this embodiment, the post-filter element 94 is set as a carbon filter element.

[0034] When the water purification device of the present invention supplies water, the raw water passes through the water inlet 1, the water inlet valve 11, the softening device 14, and enters the pre-filter 2 for filtration, then passes through the ultrafiltration device 3, and then passes through the reverse osmosis device 4 to become pure water and is stored in the water tank 5. The water supply pump 6 draws the water in the water tank 5, and the water passes through the second solenoid valve 7 and the post-filter element 94 in sequence and flows out from the water outlet 9. The liquid level meter 51 detects the water level of the pure water in the water tank 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the second solenoid valve 7 is not energized when the water level in the water tank 5 is high, the second solenoid valve 7 is normally open, and the water in the water tank 5 can flow normally to the water outlet 9. When the water level in the water tank 5 is low, the second solenoid valve 7 is closed after being energized, and the water in the water tank 5 cannot pass through the second solenoid valve 7. The water filtered by the ultrafiltration device 3 is supplied to the water outlet 9 through the fourth water path L4. The fourth water path L4 of the present invention can realize the variable frequency water supply of the water purification device, and provide pure water or direct drinking water to users according to the supply and demand situation.

[0036] See also Figure 3 The present invention is provided with a first flushing valve 31, a second flushing valve 41 and a third flushing valve 21 to flush the filter membranes of the prefilter 2, the ultrafiltration device 3 and the reverse osmosis device 4.

When the second flushing valve 41 is opened, after flushing the first reverse osmosis filter element 42 and the second reverse osmosis filter element 43 of the reverse osmosis device 4, the wastewater passes through the second flushing valve 41 and is discharged from the wastewater port 10. When the third flushing valve 21 is opened, the filter membrane of the prefilter 2 is flushed, and the wastewater passes through the third flushing valve 21 and is discharged from the wastewater port 10.

[0037] The fourth water path L4 of the present invention can also realize backwashing of the pre-filter 2 and the ultrafiltration device 3 and pure water flushing of the reverse osmosis device 4. After the first solenoid valve 8 is opened, the pure water in the water tank 5 is pumped out by the water supply pump 6 and passes through the second solenoid valve 7, the second interface 82, and the first solenoid valve 8 to reach the first interface 81. Pure water flows from the first interface 81 into the ultrafiltration device 3 for reverse flushing, and the waste water passes through the first flushing valve 31 to reach the waste water port 10. Pure water flows from the first interface 81 through the ultrafiltration device 3 into the pre-filter 2 for reverse flushing, and the waste water passes through the third flushing valve 21 to reach the waste water port 10.

[0038] Pure water flows into the reverse osmosis device 4 from the first interface 81, and the first reverse osmosis filter element 42 and the second reverse osmosis filter element 43 are rinsed with pure water, and the waste water reaches the waste water port 10 through the second flushing valve 41. The one-way valve 45 can prevent the water filtered by the reverse osmosis device 4 from flowing back. During the flushing process, the third solenoid valve 46 is closed to ensure that water does not enter the water tank 5 when flushing the filter element. The fourth waterway L4 of the present invention increases the service life of the filter element of the pre-filter 2, the ultrafiltration device 3 and the reverse osmosis device 4, ensures the filtering efficiency, and is convenient for family use.
